The Alliance for Opportunity and Development (AOD) is a 501(c)(3), Christian, non-profit organization established in January 2012. Our mission is to provide education and training opportunities for low-income families that reduce poverty. Our primary program provides life-changing, job-training scholarships to low-income adults. We serve the greater Huntsville, Alabama community.
- "Learn and Earn" scholarships provide low-income adults the opportunity to learn new skills in vocational/technical training programs and then earn their way out of poverty. These are life-changing, job-training scholarships. AOD has several graduates since our inception working in new careers. Their accomplishments include moving out of subsidized housing, purchasing homes, purchasing reliable transportation, and continuing their education (sometimes with the help of employer provided tuition assistance).
- "Imagination and Aspiration" scholarships provide science and technology summer camp experiences to children from low-income families. As of December 2018, AOD has sent 11 children to summer camps organized by the Space and Rocket Center, Sci-Quest, Mindgear Labs, and Engineering for Kids.
